EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a significant moment in history as Marquette and Joliet, two French explorers, meet Native Americans during their expedition of the upper Mississippi River region in the 1670s. The hand-colored woodcut, created in the 19th century, beautifully illustrates this encounter between different cultures. In this scene, we see Marquette and Joliet engaging with members of the indigenous community in Illinois. Dressed in traditional attire, they exchange greetings and gestures of friendship. A sense of curiosity and mutual respect is palpable as communication takes place through various means. The exploration party includes a Roman Catholic priest who likely served as a missionary on this journey. His presence highlights the religious aspect of European expeditions during that time period. The artwork showcases both historical accuracy and artistic interpretation to transport us back to this pivotal moment when Canada met America's native inhabitants. It offers a glimpse into early interactions between Europeans and Native Americans on North American soil. As we admire this piece, it reminds us of the rich tapestry that makes up our shared history—a testament to human curiosity, discovery, and cultural exchange that shaped our world today.
